Please note due to the operational requirements of the admissions office it is not possible to take annual leave during A level and GCSE results time, this is usually for two weeks in August.

The department supports hybrid working with arrangements agreed locally. In practice this means the team balances the working week with some time spent on campus and some time spent working from home to support flexibility, recognising that individuals and teams can be effective across different working environments.

We particularly welcome applications from staff with protected characteristics, such as BAME, disabled and LGBT+ communities in both academic and professional services roles. We also encourage staff who are under-represented in their professional field e.g. for reasons such as gender, to apply.

The post is offered on a permanent, full time (36.25 hours per week) contract. Job share arrangements may be considered.
